A conventional love story between Phoolkunwar and Kisan forms the framing device for a special effects-derived action movie. The evil Malubha persuades the heroine’s step-mother to destroy the marriage which symbolically held together the financial merger of two elite feudal families. The cast demonstrates the growing influence of non- Gujarati actors in the cinema of this region.
